Amlodipine + Bisoprolol

Uses of Amlodipine + Bisoprolol

  • Amlodipine + Bisoprolol is primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults and falls under the categories of calcium channel blockers and beta blockers.

Side effects of Amlodipine + Bisoprolol

  • Headache

  • Dizziness

  • Fatigue

  • Nausea

  • Swelling of the ankles

How Amlodipine + Bisoprolol works

  • Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by restricting the amount of calcium entering the muscle cells of the heart and arteries. This results in relaxed blood vessels, which allows for smoother blood flow and consequently reduces high blood pressure.

  • Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker. It acts by inhibiting the action of certain natural chemicals, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This decreases the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
